Chicken fajita wraps
Chicken fajitas are easy to throw together at the end of a busy day, but this recipe is good enough to serve to friends too, thanks to homemade guacamole and a spice mix. Use any leftover cooked chicken, but roasted is best.

For the fajitas, heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the onion and pepper and fry for around 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently until softened. Add the garlic, fry for a further minute and then add in the spice mix. Stir for 2 minutes until the spices are aromatic. Add the chicken to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and add extra crushed dried chilies, if desired. Add a splash of water to the pan and cook over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring, until piping hot. Check seasoning and adjust as desired.

Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and cook the corn on the cobs for 4-6 minutes until tender. Remove from the pan, drain and, once cool enough to handle, carefully cut each in half to make 4 small cobs. Mix the soured cream with the lime zest in a small bowl.

To serve, heat the tortillas in the microwave (according to packet instructions) or in a hot dry frying pan. Serve the chicken mixture in the wraps with the guacamole, soured cream and grated cheese. Serve the corn on the cobs and lime wedges alongside.
